Many favorite department store designers are here, including Lauren Ralph Lauren, DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger, and those strong with the younger set, including BCBG Max Azria, Puma, and Sean John. The handbag-and-accessories department offers a range of prices and styles, including Dooney & Bourke. The flagship Nicollet Mall location is the standout with the greatest depth in departments and the legendary Oval Room, but Southdale has become the best bet for women's contemporary fashion.
